    Well pick up a load at Swift JBS in Grand Island yesterday morning. Here in Fort Worth to deliver as my dispatch says to unload on 5/28/12 1800. Well if you don't know the meat packing plant makes the appointment for their loads. Mine is at 5/29/12 1800. Didn't find that out until I got here to unload. Trying to get them to take it tonight. We will see what happens. Daymn JBS fing it up again.

    :Horse:Thanks for the feed back guys! That's good info to know,i saw a couple of trucks and they are really nice.Wow,would be nice to get O/O pay,LOL.. Yeah that's ok,I'm still looking around been with same company for some time just want to do something different.Sounds like FRE is a good place to work,as long as freight is good all year long.I have very little reefer experience, so that will be something to think about. I forgot to ask about that.

    Osiyo Twisted Spur... I had very little reefer experience also and it didn't make a difference with them... I've been out here for 20 years and most of the time I was pulling dry boxes... You won't have any problems with freight... We've got some good accounts and I don't think it will really slow down at all...

    O/O pay would be nice. depending on the exp. you can start off at .36 a mile. also the little reefer exp is nothing to worry about. they will go over how to use it at orientation if needed. also with the accounts John is right. dont see anything slowing down anytime soon.

    you use the reefer almost every load. few loads are dry and you will not need to run it.
